8 hours ago, Vince Mcmahon realized just how many of his moneymakers were trained by Rip Rogers. Thus, to honor the Hustler, Orton was told that he would have to take a...well, you know.
And now Drew Macintyre (sp?) can show up on Tuesday asking for a title shot...to prove which member of 3MB is the best. Wrestling can be funny sometimes.

Strongly disagree. Portia works in Shimmer, but that is so dependent on knowing all her history. That wouldn't work at all in an environment where her hating half the contestants and cheering on her friends has no background.
Veda can do that, but she can also do a professional broadcast journalist role. She did an excellent job calling the Beyond show on mania weekend, and that was with having had teeth kicked out.
I'm thinking Veda will be in the tournament itself, and go to at least the semi-finals. Any commentary she does will be putting on a headset mid-match to taunt her opponent.

I can't give any grief to Delirious' booking this week, thanks to this weekend's Sinclair show. Why? Because if I were a wrestler working a show in Korakuen Hall, and had a tiny bit of sway with the NJPW bookerman, I'd absolutely work out a way to get myself a tag match with Liger.
And showing a main event match where Cody gets the win, just after premiering Cody's new t-shirt ad, ok yeah that was smart.

If Vince hires Marty Scurll because of you I will find you and I will hurt you.
Well, Vince allowed for Anderson, Gallows, and A.J. to pick up paychecks.

We don't like CHIKARA? i didn't think you'd find more Quackenbush marks or lovers of The Osiran Portal or whatnot per capita in any other place on the internets?
All Hail Nazmaldun?
@maciej Think they're doing away with all the Ants this season?

He's retiring in August...just not necessarily the one in 2017.

The may wrestling thread summed up so far.
Hulk Hogan would be the Al Snow of stand up comedy?

Wasn't sure to ask here or NJPW World thread but, Day 1 being streamed live for free, is that a real story?

Who's the Redd Foxx of wrestling? Ric Flair?
Savage, because he kept saying he was coming for Elizabeth?
Ok, maybe that was Flair.
Or that lustful Hogan.

Terry Funk.
Only if he's wearing a stocking over his head in Chainsaw Charlie mode.
But how can the Bucks be Gallagher? I mean, if there's one wrestler known for finishing with a hammer, it's HHH.

I thought Fish vs. Silas was good.
Listen up wrestling fans, Silas Young had fantastic heel work.
SpoilerFirst they show a segment where Silas attacks Jay Lethal while he's about to film a commercial, because he's sick of Jay always getting the endorsement spots. And then Silas beats Fish by hitting him with a knee brace, thus leaving him down for the count.

Sin cara punches out some druids in...
Druids can't work WWE shows anymore. Taker's gone.
And since Taker agreed to lose his last match, it means he took the biggest ...dive of the year.
It was arguably the slowest match he worked all decade...and still better than Orton's Mania offering.

I hope the Danielson and Garcia-Colace families were in the delivery room chanting "Best in the world", singing Europe's "The Final Countdown", and banging on anything as if it were ROH's metal guardrails.
On LOST, Claire's baby kept being called Turnip Head by Charlie.
Baby Bryan-Bella first plays in a crib, the kid is going to be called Barricade Slapper.

Jay Bradley vs. current NWA Champ.
Bell ring. Boomstick. Pin. New Champ.
That's how whatever TV/YouTube/WWN show Corgan gets going should start.
Smith as babyface to chase.

Chet the Jet. I once thought for sure he'd get called up for the WWE reboot of ECW.
As for ROH being a 2 hour show? Pass on that.
Probably said this before, but the same channel that has the 1 hour show on Saturdays in my area had World Class on Saturdays way back when. I just like that day (or night) and amount of time for a promotion's show, whether it was Smoky Mountain, ECW, Memphis, or others that have come and gone.
Edited to add: As for Mt. Rushmore, I thought that was a PWG faction.
As I haven't seen much of the first 5 years of ROH, I can't give a full assessment. So I'll just say that the 4 faces should feature at least one guy named Jay.

I'm not sure "motivated Jack Swagger" is an actual thing that exists.
I've seen it. It was 10 or 11 years ago at an OVW house show, but I've seen it.
Fairly certain he was doing his best to impress not just the trainers and bookers, but also his lady friend that picked up his ring jacket after the match.

This is going to be like George trying to meet Marissa Tomei. I just have that feeling. I don't know why.
Because if you count talking to Randy the Ram backstage, both Marisa and Veda have worked ROH shows?

Has anyone ever figured out why super Englishy English gentleman Jack "The Englishman" Gallagher enters to a theme by a French composer about an affair between a Spanish soldier and a Romani prostitute?
No one's told Vince that there's a band called Oasis with members named Gallagher in it? Or they did, and Steph nixed it because fighting siblings is her and Shane's gimmick?
There's very few Queen songs that the band is willing to license out to the WWE, but Kevin Dunn's pointed out that Stone Cold Crazy Austin and Flash Funk Gordon don't work there anymore so they don't need new music from that band?
Only British band allowed is Motorhead, and that's Trips territory only?
Vince just heard the Sex Pistols "God Save The Queen" a couple years ago, thought it was awful. And "Pretty Vacant" would just remind folks that titles get forfeited too often?
All the best Brit themes have already been used for NXT Takeover or been picked up by Progress heels?
Ok, ok, answer is some folks just like to chant/sing-along with it, so they stuck with it.

The last (only?) good Women of Honor match.
Dec 2016 and shocker neither is with the company
Deonna was in the Kelly Klein match I linked to that they put up just last week. It was taped earlier this year.

This is, possibly, the most boring conversation I've ever seen on this board. Ever
I like your sly way of invoking your own first name.
I mean, "Creative has nothing for you" is a common phrase on wrestling boards, right?

At one point in ROH, it was definitely 'Jay'. They had Jay Lethal, Briscoe, Diesel (They tried to cover that by saying it was "J.Diesel" but, come on, everyone at home knew it was 'Jay'!). But I can't really think of any other Jays.
Cougar Jay, NWA jobber, comes to mind.
(Ok really, it's an excuse to link to a Pillman match.)

Real factions as they actually played out in various promotions, or how they would be written up as to what they could do in 2017?
